Great place to stay on Vancouver Island

This place is wonderful! Jo-Ann made us feel so welcomed. Her place is beautifully equipped,including welcoming fruits and sweet treats. After a long day of travel,we enjoyed a dip in Hidden Pond followed by a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Our only regret was that we didn’t bring our children and grandchildren with us to enjoy this wonderful spot.

Myself, my parents, and our two dogs stayed here and absolutely loved it!! We were a short drive to Victoria (didn't have enough time to explore Sooke or Metchosin this time), and sometimes didn't even want to leave as there was so much to do at the house! It was so quiet and peaceful. We loved the hot tub, pond with floaties, hammock, trail to walk the pups, the incredible deck to watch the sunset, and berry picking. The kitchen was wonderful and had everything we needed to make a special birthday dinner for my dad or anything else! Jo-Ann and Rob were wonderful hosts, fantastic communication. 100/10, would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Wish we could have stayed longer

Lovely property with plenty of comfortable relaxation space inside and out. The owners really tried to cover all our needs. The driveway and walkways are pretty steep, which can be expected on a hillside, so as long as you are prepared for that you will have a wonderful stay.

Wonderful secluded property and swimming pond

We had a great stay here, everything was exactly as we had hoped from the listing and photos. Swimming pond was a definite highlight! The hosts struck a perfect balance between being helpful and available when needed but also very relaxed and not in our way at all. We would definitely return and would recommend this stay to friends and family.

Wonderful property and house

We had an amazing and memorable stay at Hidden Pond. Jo-Ann was very thoughtful with all the little extras. The home was beautifully decorated and very warm and inviting. The pond area was so tranquil and lush. Our only regret was that it was too short of a stay. Thank you Jo-Ann for making it a memorable stay for a group of school friends celebrating our 60th birthday year.

A little piece of paradise

We really enjoyed our stay in the family suite at the hidden pond. The accommodations were beautiful and we were taken back by how much room there was. The amenities were amazing, from the hot tub, to the garden, to the peaceful pond. The fresh baked goods were a lovely touch. Can’t wait to come back and stay at hidden pond again!

Beautiful Location - quiet area. Not full home

I stayed here with my Mom, kids, brother and his wife. The suite was beautiful, and we had access to their pond and hot tub. I assumed it would be the full home because I booked through VRBO, but the home owners live upstairs. I slept in the bunk bed room with my kids, but my Mom said it was really loud in her room with people walking around upstairs in the evening and morning. Otherwise stunning location and home.

Full of fun nature stay that was relaxing and well thought out

Seriously great stay if you are looking for a place to relax in nature, bring a family or have a pet. The natural pond was an absolute hit for our dog, kids and grown ups! Lots of floating toys, a dock to jump in from, plenty of seating/ lounging options and beautiful landscaping at every turn. We actually gave up many of our out and about plans just to stay and play in the pond. We loved the well stocked fire pit. The hot tub was nice and toasty. The rentals deck was huge and again had many seating options, a dining table and clean BBQ with spare propane. The beds were clean and comfy. All kitchen supplies were there along with plenty of spices and some common condiments - so you don't have to go buy them :) The owners are super nice. They helped us find some great local things to do and made sure our entire stay from pre-arrival to exit was above and beyond expectations. I would definitely go back to Hidden Pond.

Amazing thanksgiving weekend at Hidden Pond

We were a group of 7 friends in town for the Victoria Marathon. We stayed at Hidden Pond and although it was slightly out of town (about 35 mins from downtown Victoria) it was the perfect place to prep before and relax after. We loved the hottub and the relaxing outdoor furniture and large outdoor table where we had a big thanksgiving dinner after the rcae. Rob was super friendly and responsive and the place was huge, clean, and had so many lovely special touches!

Peaceful Retreat

We were so happy to have found this wonderful property. The house is beautiful and it has everything anyone needs to feel comfortable and at home. The pond was amazing and my teenage kids had a blast with the row boat and flamingo. I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking to get away and relax. The property owners were very nice and available since day one but we really didn’t need anything because they did such a great job making us feel welcome. The breakfast place they recommended was delicious so please ask them about it! Loved our stay.
